Habitat and Ecology

Found in undergrowth of rainforest, often near water. In Nigeria, they have been recorded in areas of fragmented forest mixed with farmland (Angelici et al. 1999) and as widespread in the Niger Delta, including the largely deforested lowland zone east of Orashi R. (Powell 1997).
